0:00:02 > 0:00:06Today on Roar - they swim like an otter, burrow like a badger
0:00:06 > 0:00:08and have webbed feet like a duck!
0:00:08 > 0:00:12There are also some gorgeous new ones! What are they?
0:00:42 > 0:00:45Welcome to an action-packed edition of Roar. I'm Rani.
0:00:45 > 0:00:48I'm Johny. We're with the oh-so-clever Capuchin monkeys.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52These have one of the biggest body to brain ratios
0:00:52 > 0:00:55of all non-human primates.
0:00:55 > 0:00:59They're so smart, they're normally one step ahead of their predators.
0:00:59 > 0:01:03In the wild, to avoid predators, they throw rocks and sticks at them.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06When they're not using rocks against predators,
0:01:06 > 0:01:09they use them as tools to crack open nuts and fruit.
0:01:09 > 0:01:12That's clever. I could learn a thing or two about technique from them.
0:01:12 > 0:01:15Meanwhile, let's crack on with today's show!
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Rani's in at the deep end when she's put to work
0:01:21 > 0:01:25cleaning poo and slime out of the tiger pond.
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Put your back into it!
0:01:27 > 0:01:29The Malayan tapirs need feeding
0:01:29 > 0:01:32and our Roar Rangers are up for the job.
0:01:32 > 0:01:34But how will they know when they've found them?
0:01:34 > 0:01:37What are tapirs?
0:01:37 > 0:01:41- A tapir might be a monkey. - No, this is a monkey!
0:01:41 > 0:01:45We'll be meeting a new one who just wants to cuddle her mum!
0:01:56 > 0:01:59The sun is shining, I've got my lolly ice.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04All I need now is for Jim Vasey to hurry up and clean out my pool.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Come on, Jim! Put your back into it!
0:02:06 > 0:02:08What do you think this is?
0:02:08 > 0:02:12If you want to enjoy the pond, get in here and help me!
0:02:12 > 0:02:16I'd better hand my lolly ice over there
0:02:16 > 0:02:18to our director and do some work.
0:02:18 > 0:02:22I'll take these sunglasses off as well. It's bright!
0:02:22 > 0:02:25Right, Jim. We're in the tiger enclosure.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29This is a first for me. I've never been in a tiger pool before.
0:02:29 > 0:02:31It's the first time you've ever worked!
0:02:31 > 0:02:35That's not true! Now, why are we cleaning out this pool?
0:02:35 > 0:02:37As you can see, it gets very green.
0:02:37 > 0:02:41That's mainly because there's five tigers in here, playing.
0:02:41 > 0:02:46They bring in a lot of debris - grass and debris from other plants.
0:02:46 > 0:02:49So it turns the water green. And the walls.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53Right. I'll start scrubbing. It's actually tough work, isn't it?
0:02:53 > 0:02:54Ah, yes!
0:02:54 > 0:02:58I'm loving this. It's the first time I've seen her do some real work.
0:02:58 > 0:03:00- Put your back into it! - Tell you what, Jim,
0:03:00 > 0:03:03you need to be doing something as well.
0:03:03 > 0:03:06Crack on! What are you going to do?
0:03:06 > 0:03:09I'll clean the drain while you finish scrubbing the walls.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13- Now, we're talking about the five tigers in here.- Yes.
0:03:13 > 0:03:18Mum and Dad are used to this pool. Do the little ones bother coming in?
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yes, it's surprising. Especially in the evenings,
0:03:21 > 0:03:24as it starts to get cooler, they'll go in here.
0:03:24 > 0:03:27We often put toys in here.
0:03:27 > 0:03:30- Really?- In the morning you find all the toys out
0:03:30 > 0:03:34which shows they've been in and played. The pond is dirty.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37It's quite deep. Is it safe? Do they swim?
0:03:37 > 0:03:40Or do they have a life ring and arm-bands on them?
0:03:40 > 0:03:43No, they'll go in as far as they dare.
0:03:43 > 0:03:46Up to the bottom of their chins.
0:03:46 > 0:03:50This is really hard work, actually, getting this green stuff off.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53How often do you do this? Obviously not often enough!
0:03:53 > 0:03:56We clean the pond twice a week.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00- Really?- Yes.- Can I look at this stuff Jim's pulling out?
0:04:00 > 0:04:05It's like me pulling my hair out of the plug-hole in the shower!
0:04:05 > 0:04:09- That's all stuff they bring in with them?- Right.
0:04:09 > 0:04:11But they don't poo or wee in this ever?
0:04:11 > 0:04:14I'm just wondering cos you're doing that.
0:04:14 > 0:04:18In the wild, what happens? No-one comes along to pick stuff out.
0:04:18 > 0:04:23No, that's right. In a lot of cases, because they swim in rivers,
0:04:23 > 0:04:27if they do a poo or wee in the water it just gets washed down.
0:04:27 > 0:04:29So where they are it's always clean.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31You've done that. What's next to do?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35I've left you that bit there to do. I've cleaned that.
0:04:35 > 0:04:37I'll get rid of the bin. You finish that off.
0:04:37 > 0:04:40We'll give it a rinse down and then fill it up.
0:04:40 > 0:04:45That's perfect, Jim. OK, we're going to get scrubbing - or Jim is!
0:04:56 > 0:05:00There are some dogs at the park that aren't like dogs at all.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02They swim like an otter,
0:05:02 > 0:05:04burrow like a badger,
0:05:04 > 0:05:05and have webbed feet like a duck.
0:05:05 > 0:05:09They are...bush dogs.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Bush dogs live in the forests of Central and South America.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19They are very rare and little is known about them.
0:05:19 > 0:05:24They live in packs and they're pretty lethal hunters. Together,
0:05:24 > 0:05:27they can easily kill something the size of a deer.
0:05:29 > 0:05:33At the park, however, their pack hasn't been growing.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36It's six years since any pups were born.
0:05:37 > 0:05:40But one man has managed to change all that.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Head of the small carnivores, Neville Buck.
0:05:58 > 0:06:01Really exciting news for you today. In the house behind me,
0:06:01 > 0:06:04we've actually got four bush dog pups.
0:06:04 > 0:06:08They're 12 weeks old. They're not an easy species to breed,
0:06:08 > 0:06:11so having four brand-new pups here
0:06:11 > 0:06:13is just fantastic!
0:06:13 > 0:06:17For Neville, these long-awaited arrivals are particularly special.
0:06:18 > 0:06:22It's really fantastic because the father of these pups is Moley,
0:06:22 > 0:06:24who was hand-raised by me about three years ago.
0:06:24 > 0:06:28He's been a fantastic dad. He's very paternal. He loves his pups.
0:06:28 > 0:06:33Being hand-reared, Moley has always been quite bold.
0:06:33 > 0:06:36However, his new pups are very nervous of strangers.
0:06:39 > 0:06:42Because they're only used to me being in there,
0:06:42 > 0:06:46I'll have to go in by myself and take the camera
0:06:46 > 0:06:50because they won't appreciate the cameraman being around!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53So, as Neville heads into the bush dog house,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55let's switch to Nev Cam!
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Being so nervous, they may not come out.
0:07:02 > 0:07:04Hello, darling. Are you coming out?
0:07:04 > 0:07:06That's Tachira, the mum.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Here we have one of the pups.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27These are the first baby bush dogs we've ever seen on Roar.
0:07:27 > 0:07:30The pups are much darker than the parents.
0:07:30 > 0:07:33In the wild, this would help them hide in the jungle.
0:07:33 > 0:07:37The pups are very healthy. I'm happy with the way they're developing.
0:07:37 > 0:07:40They've grown a huge amount.
0:07:40 > 0:07:43They weren't the size of their heads when they were born.
0:07:43 > 0:07:47They're just miniature dogs. Cutest pups you could imagine.
0:07:50 > 0:07:54It's time for them to head into their outdoor enclosure
0:07:54 > 0:07:58where there's even an underground network of tunnels to get lost in!
0:07:58 > 0:08:02We'll be back when Neville opens the door for his precious new pups.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24This brother and sister combo will be joining forces
0:08:24 > 0:08:27as they get to live the life of a keeper.
0:08:27 > 0:08:28What will they be doing?
0:08:34 > 0:08:37- What are tapirs? - A tapir might be a monkey.
0:08:37 > 0:08:39Something with arms, legs and a tail!
0:08:39 > 0:08:41That's my guess!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44That narrows it down to everything in the park!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48This is a tapir.
0:08:50 > 0:08:52There are four different species.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55Kelly and William will meet the Malayan tapir today.
0:08:55 > 0:08:58They come from the rainforests of south-east Asia
0:08:58 > 0:09:00but are now endangered due to hunting
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and the increasing loss of their natural habitat.
0:09:05 > 0:09:10At 500 kilos, the tapirs weigh 15 times what William does.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13Chris looks after seven of them
0:09:13 > 0:09:15and there's plenty to do at feed time.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20We want a load of carrots in each. A load of parsnips.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24They don't just eat veg. They also get special nuts.
0:09:25 > 0:09:27- Want to try one?- No!
0:09:27 > 0:09:31We generally try all the food we give to the tapirs.
0:09:31 > 0:09:35It tastes fairly horrible. It tastes like dust - dust and dirt!
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Eughh! Would we be able to eat them, though?
0:09:38 > 0:09:42- Yeah, you'd be fine. Sure you don't want to try it?- No!- No!
0:09:43 > 0:09:46OK, guys. Feeling strong? BOTH: Yes.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48Let's go feed the tapirs, then.
0:09:50 > 0:09:52Do you want to whistle, to get them out?
0:09:52 > 0:09:54ALL WHISTLE
0:09:54 > 0:09:58Here they come. As easy as that!
0:09:59 > 0:10:03The first tapirs that our rangers will meet are Lidana and Copasih,
0:10:03 > 0:10:05who are mother and son.
0:10:05 > 0:10:09Because they're with the keeper, they're able to get very close.
0:10:09 > 0:10:12Stand close by the food and they should come over.
0:10:12 > 0:10:14Lidaeng, cos she's older than him,
0:10:14 > 0:10:17it'll be easier to stroke her. Just stroke her.
0:10:17 > 0:10:22- Will they eat the banana skin? - Yes, all of it. Everything on it.
0:10:22 > 0:10:24- Even the stickers? - They're not fussy!
0:10:24 > 0:10:28- Not fussy at all.- She's just crushed a whole banana!
0:10:28 > 0:10:31I never thought I'd get that close!
0:10:31 > 0:10:36It's a very good experience. I think I've made a good friend now!
0:10:36 > 0:10:42They're cool cos they look really different from any other animal.
0:10:43 > 0:10:44Cool!
0:10:45 > 0:10:49OK, we'll leave these two. How do you fancy rubbing a tapir's belly?
0:10:49 > 0:10:52- Yeah!- Yeah!- Let's go, then!
0:10:52 > 0:10:56It's definitely not every day you get to feed a tapir.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00But we'll be back later when our rangers get to tickle one!
0:11:07 > 0:11:11From one greedy black-and-white creature to another!
0:11:11 > 0:11:15The favourite food of the rough lemurs is fruit.
0:11:15 > 0:11:19They get as much down their necks as possible, as quickly as they can!
0:11:21 > 0:11:23I'm meeting Jo, the lemur keeper,
0:11:23 > 0:11:28as she has an ingenious idea to make them savour every mouthful.
0:11:30 > 0:11:36- What's the plan?- We found out, because the lemurs like banana,
0:11:36 > 0:11:38and obviously they can run around,
0:11:38 > 0:11:43but they are prone to getting a bit overweight sometimes.
0:11:43 > 0:11:47We've had an idea to give them enrichment, some ice cube treats!
0:11:47 > 0:11:51So the idea here, I suppose is that there's goodies in there.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55- What is in the ice?- We've got banana and we're trying peanut butter.
0:11:55 > 0:12:00- Only a little bit.- So they can't gobble it too quick cos of the ice.
0:12:00 > 0:12:03I like it a lot! So what are we going to do?
0:12:03 > 0:12:07There's six in here. There's not too many hanging around now,
0:12:07 > 0:12:10so if we hang some up and see if we can entice them over.
0:12:10 > 0:12:14- See what they think.- Have you ever given them ice before, Jo?
0:12:14 > 0:12:18- No, this is a bit of a treat for them.- Let me see...
0:12:18 > 0:12:22- Oh, he's already having a go at this one!- Yep.
0:12:30 > 0:12:32This one's going for the actual box.
0:12:32 > 0:12:35Yes, it's quite new for them.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38They either like something or they're not interested.
0:12:38 > 0:12:41It may even be different personalities.
0:12:41 > 0:12:44Different individuals might like them more than the others.
0:12:44 > 0:12:49They all like banana and they haven't tasted the peanut butter.
0:12:49 > 0:12:54Probably if we leave them to it and let them see what's inside,
0:12:54 > 0:12:57they might get to the peanut butter - as this one has!
0:12:57 > 0:12:58It's all over his fingers!
0:12:58 > 0:13:02They can't get enough of these ice cubes. There's another one here.
0:13:02 > 0:13:07And here. All going mad for these ice cubes.
0:13:07 > 0:13:09I think lemurs are even cooler now!
0:13:14 > 0:13:18- What do you get if you cross a cow and a camel?- I don't know.
0:13:18 > 0:13:19A lumpy milkshake!
0:13:20 > 0:13:22HISSING
0:13:22 > 0:13:24What do you call sheep that live together?
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Pen friends! Daa!
0:13:27 > 0:13:30- What do you get from a bad-tempered shark?- I don't know.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33As far away as possible!
0:13:46 > 0:13:49It's time to meet another new baby.
0:13:49 > 0:13:53Well, once Mel has found the little one!
0:13:55 > 0:13:58In here, we have Kavinda.
0:13:58 > 0:14:01She's recently given birth to her eighth baby.
0:14:01 > 0:14:03We're just in here now
0:14:03 > 0:14:05looking to see if we can find her
0:14:05 > 0:14:10and give you a quick sneaky peek at the new baby.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12Kavinda is a De Brazza's monkey.
0:14:12 > 0:14:15Her family have the run of this huge enclosure.
0:14:18 > 0:14:21This is pretty much as natural an enclosure as we can get.
0:14:21 > 0:14:26It's absolutely brilliant for them, recreating the natural environment.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28It's difficult for us to find her and spot her,
0:14:28 > 0:14:32but it's brilliant for them with all these trees
0:14:32 > 0:14:36to forage in. It's the best enclosure they could have.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38It all seems very nice.
0:14:38 > 0:14:42But the De Brazzas aren't alone.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51As you can see,
0:14:51 > 0:14:57the De Brazzas share the enclosure with 16 colobus monkeys
0:14:57 > 0:15:01who are also very eager to get the peanuts we brought for Kavinda!
0:15:01 > 0:15:06I expect she's indoors, with the colobus being on the rampage.
0:15:06 > 0:15:08She's probably got out the way!
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Just as Mel thought,
0:15:12 > 0:15:17Kavinda is indeed tucked away in a corner with her newest baby.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23This is mum and dad, the proud parents of the newest baby
0:15:23 > 0:15:25which is a week-and-a-half old today.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29As you see, Mum's not bothered by us being here at all
0:15:29 > 0:15:31or by us being this close to her baby.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33She's a very laid-back, chilled mum
0:15:33 > 0:15:36and George is a laid-back dad.
0:15:38 > 0:15:42Baby's hanging on Mum with her hands and feet. She's got a good grip.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45From the moment she was born she was straight on there.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47On the nipple so she can get a drink.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51In fact, this baby will see the world upside-down,
0:15:51 > 0:15:54clinging on to Mum for quite a few more weeks yet.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57So let's give her a little break.
0:15:59 > 0:16:03Now this baby is solely on Mum's milk.
0:16:03 > 0:16:08But once her teeth start growing, she'll try to steal Mum's food.
0:16:08 > 0:16:12At two or three months old, she'll start coming off Mum properly,
0:16:12 > 0:16:14walking round on her own, foraging.
0:16:14 > 0:16:17But at this stage, Kavinda's keeping hold
0:16:17 > 0:16:19and she has a good hold on Mum, as you can see.
0:16:28 > 0:16:30By having an eighth baby, Kavinda is doing her bit
0:16:30 > 0:16:34for a very threatened species of monkey.
0:16:34 > 0:16:37The future is looking very bright for her.
0:16:37 > 0:16:41She's in a brilliant place with a mum and dad and all her sisters
0:16:41 > 0:16:43who love her very much.
0:16:52 > 0:16:56Have you checked out the new-look Roar game on the CBBC website yet?
0:16:56 > 0:17:01We've added some new stuff including a new enclosure, Ice World,
0:17:01 > 0:17:03where you look after penguins and seals.
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Existing gamers can keep hold of their old pot
0:17:06 > 0:17:09but we've loads of new features to enjoy.
0:17:09 > 0:17:13We'll give out new cheat codes on every show. It's on the screen now -
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Happy gaming!
0:17:26 > 0:17:29Since we saw him last, Neville has been busy.
0:17:30 > 0:17:33After he managed to film the new bush dog pups,
0:17:33 > 0:17:36he seems to have got a real taste for it!
0:17:36 > 0:17:40He was on hand to film Jane the vet giving them their first vaccinations
0:17:40 > 0:17:42and worming treatments.
0:17:44 > 0:17:47This was essential for their next big adventure,
0:17:47 > 0:17:51leaving the bedroom and heading out into the outdoor enclosure
0:17:51 > 0:17:53which will be a massive step.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59We haven't managed to get Neville to put the camera down yet,
0:17:59 > 0:18:02but we have at least got him to stand in front of ours.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05Once they've got access into the whole enclosure,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08it'll be totally new experiences for these guys,
0:18:08 > 0:18:10with them being restricted indoors.
0:18:10 > 0:18:12It's a whole new world.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16I think there'll be load of exploring going on out there.
0:18:16 > 0:18:19Bush dogs love to dig
0:18:19 > 0:18:23and there's already a network of tunnels dug by their parents.
0:18:23 > 0:18:28But after three months inside, it may not be easy getting them out.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Today we'll give them a bit of encouragement.
0:18:32 > 0:18:37We'll feed them outdoors, so they've got to come outside.
0:18:37 > 0:18:39If they want breakfast, come and see me!
0:18:41 > 0:18:45The door to the outside is now open and the food has been put out.
0:18:52 > 0:18:55Moley and Tachira venture out first.
0:18:58 > 0:19:00The pups are less sure!
0:19:03 > 0:19:07But it's not long before their curiosity gets the better of them!
0:19:07 > 0:19:11# You spin my head right round, right round
0:19:11 > 0:19:14# When you go down, when you go down, down
0:19:14 > 0:19:19# You spin my head right round, right round
0:19:19 > 0:19:22# When you go down, when you go down, down... #
0:19:23 > 0:19:27They are hit by a whole world of new senses that need exploring.
0:19:30 > 0:19:33It's been really brilliant. They were a little bit cautious.
0:19:33 > 0:19:36We'll just carry on doing a little bit of that every day
0:19:36 > 0:19:40and hopefully we'll get them to the stage where
0:19:40 > 0:19:42they'll come right out into the open
0:19:42 > 0:19:44whether Mum and Dad are there or not.
0:19:44 > 0:19:48So I'm quite pleased with that!
0:19:48 > 0:19:50We'll check back with these folks later in the series
0:19:50 > 0:19:53as their adventures continue.
0:20:04 > 0:20:07Out in the wilds of west Africa,
0:20:07 > 0:20:11gorillas live almost entirely on a diet of leaves and shoots.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14And they need an awful lot of it.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16A male gorilla can eat 18 kilos a day!
0:20:25 > 0:20:29Keepers like Sharon try to vary their food as much as possible
0:20:29 > 0:20:33with a wide range of weird and wonderful veg.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36But today she's got a half-baked plan for some potatoes!
0:20:37 > 0:20:40They've got some cooked ones and some raw ones
0:20:40 > 0:20:42but what will the gorillas make of them?
0:20:43 > 0:20:47Sharon, in the enclosure we've got jacket potatoes and raw potatoes.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49But I can't see any gorillas!
0:20:49 > 0:20:51- Can we fix this?- We'll let them out.
0:20:51 > 0:20:55Do they know they've got a treat in store for them today?
0:20:55 > 0:20:58They've been watching us put them in the garden, so yes!
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Straightaway we've got all the gorillas. Let's just point out
0:21:01 > 0:21:04on the rocks we've got the hot potatoes.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08And scattered on the floor we've got cold potatoes.
0:21:08 > 0:21:11Have you ever given them cooked food before?
0:21:11 > 0:21:14They've had jacket potatoes before, but not hot.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17- Right.- They went straight for the hot ones, didn't they?
0:21:17 > 0:21:19They're quite popular.
0:21:19 > 0:21:23And this little fella here with his back towards us,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26he's got a few hot potatoes in his hands.
0:21:26 > 0:21:30Will they be able to tell when they pick them up that they're different
0:21:30 > 0:21:32or won't they be able to tell?
0:21:32 > 0:21:37Definitely. They can feel the hot and cold sensations, as we can,
0:21:37 > 0:21:41but they've got thicker skin so they're less sensitive to it
0:21:41 > 0:21:42than we would be.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45When they put it in their mouth do they go, "Ha! Ho!"
0:21:45 > 0:21:47They probably would if it's too hot.
0:21:47 > 0:21:51They're less sensitive than us cos they eat stinging nettles!
0:21:51 > 0:21:53That I don't think we could manage!
0:21:53 > 0:21:57How about consistency? The baked potato is softer.
0:21:57 > 0:22:00Is that easier for them to eat? Is that a reason you do it?
0:22:00 > 0:22:04That doesn't make a lot of difference. They love raw potatoes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:08They eat them like apples. They crunch into them.
0:22:08 > 0:22:10- You've got the big silverback. - He's got a few!
0:22:10 > 0:22:12He's ready with them.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14Are they all for him to eat?
0:22:14 > 0:22:18Oh, yes. Whatever they can grab and gather for themselves, they eat.
0:22:18 > 0:22:20Do the little ones lose out then on food?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24They can do. It is a survival of the fittest situation.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27They're all quite greedy so we try to spread...
0:22:27 > 0:22:31- Ooh!- That's Djala, the silverback!
0:22:31 > 0:22:33He just threw a big stick over the wall!
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Let's have a look at that again!
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Djala has the strength of eight men
0:22:39 > 0:22:42so that stick could do some damage.
0:22:42 > 0:22:45Thank you very much, Djala, we got it!
0:22:45 > 0:22:49- It was a thank you for the potatoes. - He's seen the two you're holding.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51He's hoping for more!
0:22:51 > 0:22:53- Should I give him another one? - You can if you want.
0:22:53 > 0:22:55Here we go!
0:22:56 > 0:23:01Speaking of hot potatoes, I deserve a snack. Ooh, what service!
0:23:01 > 0:23:03Thank you!
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Today our Roar Rangers are the brother and sister duo,
0:23:11 > 0:23:13Kelly and William.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16They've been helping to feed the enormous Malayan tapirs.
0:23:16 > 0:23:21After all that hard work, keeper Chris has a treat for them -
0:23:21 > 0:23:24tickling a tapir!
0:23:24 > 0:23:25Hello, Iz!
0:23:27 > 0:23:28Hello, sweetie-pie!
0:23:31 > 0:23:33Istana really responds to having her belly rubbed
0:23:33 > 0:23:37so for the keepers, this is part of the job, too.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Does she not like getting up?
0:23:40 > 0:23:44This is just like a little treat for her, basically.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46She comes and has a little stroke
0:23:46 > 0:23:48and as you can tell, she likes it a lot.
0:23:48 > 0:23:52- She just has a little scratch, basically.- She's falling asleep!
0:23:52 > 0:23:54- She's going to yawn in a minute. - There we go!
0:23:54 > 0:23:59She always sticks her tongue out when you stroke her as well.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01She's going to move now.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03Sticking her tongue out.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06- And a dribble! - Yeah, saying "boo" to everyone!
0:24:06 > 0:24:11At the beginning of the day, this pair didn't know what a tapir was!
0:24:11 > 0:24:14Now they've got a new favourite animal.
0:24:14 > 0:24:18The best thing about being a tapir keeper was feeding Izzie
0:24:18 > 0:24:21and stroking her - we got to stroke her belly.
0:24:22 > 0:24:26My best thing about being a tapir keeper
0:24:26 > 0:24:30was feeding the mother and the baby together.
0:24:33 > 0:24:35Very good. Did everything I asked of them.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38They were very careful with the tapirs
0:24:38 > 0:24:41and very enthusiastic, which is good for our animals.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42Ten out of ten!
0:24:58 > 0:25:02I hope you've enjoyed sinking your teeth into today's Roar.
0:25:02 > 0:25:03We're not finished just yet.
0:25:03 > 0:25:08Talking about sinking your teeth in, here's someone who'll do just that.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11And I don't mean deputy head of carnivores, Ben Warren!
0:25:11 > 0:25:14We're talking about Burmese python, Duke.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17It's dinner time. What is on the menu today?
0:25:17 > 0:25:19Have a look and see what happens.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28Ooh, gone for it straightaway!
0:25:28 > 0:25:30- That was quick!- Impressive, eh?
0:25:30 > 0:25:32He seems hungry. How often do you feed him?
0:25:32 > 0:25:35- I feed him every other week. - Every other week?
0:25:35 > 0:25:37That one rat will fill him up?
0:25:37 > 0:25:40- No, he gets ten rats each time. - Ten?! That's impressive!
0:25:40 > 0:25:43It looks like he's wrapping himself round it,
0:25:43 > 0:25:47like he thinks it's still alive. Is that what he thinks?
0:25:47 > 0:25:50Yes, he goes through the motions of the kill,
0:25:50 > 0:25:54grabs hold of it and swallows it down.
0:25:54 > 0:25:56How long does a full rat take to digest?
0:25:56 > 0:25:59How long will it take to get rid of that lot?
0:25:59 > 0:26:03- A couple of days. Two or three days. - His mouth opens really wide.
0:26:03 > 0:26:09- They dislocate their jaws.- Do what?! - Dislocate their jaws.- That's OK?
0:26:09 > 0:26:11Yeah, it's how they eat.
0:26:11 > 0:26:15They can open their mouths much wider to take in bigger animals.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18Wait for a deer, or a little pig or something.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21Strike out, swallow it, and lay in wait for another.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25- You're telling me Duke could eat a deer?- No way! Surely not!
0:26:25 > 0:26:27- A small deer, easy.- How big is he?
0:26:27 > 0:26:30He's around 4.5 to 5 metres.
0:26:30 > 0:26:32- Fully grown?- No!
0:26:32 > 0:26:35Oh, that is one big snake!
0:26:35 > 0:26:37Ben, thank you so much. I've got to say,
0:26:37 > 0:26:41seeing that jaw open up has been absolutely impressive today.
0:26:41 > 0:26:45I think Duke wants a bit of privacy. We'll leave him to eat his dinner
0:26:45 > 0:26:47while you check out the next episode.
0:26:49 > 0:26:53The baby tapir is growing up fast without a care in the world!
0:26:53 > 0:26:56The same can't be said for Barry, though!
0:26:56 > 0:26:59He's the keeper being grilled about them by this lot!
0:27:00 > 0:27:02You can't ask Barry that!
0:27:02 > 0:27:05We have a contender for Keeper's Got Talent!
0:27:05 > 0:27:08Joe claims he can talk to the red river hogs!
0:27:08 > 0:27:10WHINES LIKE A DOG
0:27:12 > 0:27:13But what has he said?
0:27:17 > 0:27:20And for the first time on Roar, the lions get a night feed.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24But how will they react? Tune in to find out!
